We're a bootstrapped, founder-led brand on a clear path forward. We move fast, we're intentional, and we win because we build real community around a product people are genuinely obsessed with. We're now looking for a sharp, driven Affiliate & Creator Marketing Manager to build and own our creator ecosystem from the ground up. The Role This is a builder position.

Bonus:

experience with Klaviyo , Meta Ads, or Amazon Influencer/Associates programs Exceptional written communication — you write briefs, outreach emails, and creative direction that actually lands Highly organized and self-directed — you can manage a roster of 50+ creators without dropping balls Genuine love for food, snacking, or the farmers market / artisan brand world is a major plus What We Offer Competitive base salary commensurate with experience Performance bonus tied to affiliate-driven revenue growth Product benefits — you'll never run out of jerky Direct access to and mentorship from a founder building toward a PE exit The opportunity to put your fingerprints on a program that will be a core part of this brand's valuation story A lean, entrepreneurial team where your work actually matters How to Apply Send your resume and a brief note (no more than 3 paragraphs) to with the subject line: "Affiliate Manager — [Your Name]." In your note, tell us: What's one affiliate or creator program you've built or contributed to, and what was the measurable outcome? We do not respond to generic applications.
